Canmore, Alberta

Right now I'm in Canmore, Alberta, getting ready to race in biathlon IBU cup races this coming Wednesday and Thursday. This is my first time in Canmore, and it is SOOOO beautiful here, I'm still in awe. The mountains are so big and sheer and exhilarating. It makes me just want to be outside all the time, taking it in. I also have to be careful when I ski, because I have a tendency to want to go fast here!

This is the view you get after a 10 minute run from our condo, looking toward the Three Sisters. (You get the same view from the condo, except with a few more buildings and grocery stores cluttering it up.) I also thought it might be interesting to include the photo that I based it off of.

The painting may not be quite done--its still in the "looking at it from afar lots of times and fixing anything that bothers me" stage that all my paintings go through. But that could last for several days, so I wanted to get it up here anyway!

What is this blog?

Note: I am on instagram! If you like my blog but are tired of waiting forever for me to post, follow me @hdreissigacker

This blog started as a way to share my art and hopefully also to encourage me to make more of it. Then as my life got immersed in the world of biathlon, it came to be about that too. After all, the more you learn about something and the better you get at it, the more you realize that it is an art. I found that to be true of biathlon. But I have now decided to move on from biathlon, to have more time and energy for all of the other things I want to do. I'm not totally sure what I'll end up doing with my life or with this blog...maybe it will go back to being about art. Or maybe the new things that I do will take over. We'll see...but don't worry, I'll keep making art and having adventures!
